Princeton University Hires New Head Coach

Fogarty has been involved with ice hockey for years as both a player and a coach.

“It was an honor to be considered for this position and now a privilege to be named the head coach of the Princeton hockey program,” Fogarty said, as reported by Princeton Athletic Communications.

No stranger to being a head coach, Fogarty coached the Adrian Bulldogs for seven years, finishing off with a remarkable 167-23-10 record.

”You can win anywhere and everywhere, you just have to treat people the right way and get the most out of them,” Fogarty said, reports the Princeton Packet.

Boasting an impressive resume, Fogarty has been named the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association Coach of the Year three times, first for the 2008-09 year then again for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 years. He was also a four-time finalist for the national coach of the year award.

Fogarty was a hockey player himself, graduating from Colgate University in 1995. He played for the Colgate Raiders as right wing for four years. Fogarty was also named to the 1992 ECAC All-Rookie Team.

According to Princeton Athletic Communications, when Fogarty completed his final season at Colgate, he had scored a total of 141 points and was ranked 20th on the “all-time scoring list.”

After graduation Fogarty began coaching at Colgate as an assistant hockey coach for three years. He then coached at Clarkson and then for the Bowling Green Falcons, according to the Princeton Packet.
